Hello From California

Hello everyone, sorry of the late introduction. I purchased my 2004(born date 10/03) 6spd MCS back in Oct. 2017.I thought i did a lot research before buying one but oh was i wrong hahaha! I believe i got a pretty good deal on the car though.The interior is in excellent condition, the exterior was in alright condition.The bumper was missing the lower lip,the windshield had a crack down the center,the paint is in alright condition with a few dings here and there.The car was not loved by an enthusiast thats for sure haha! Ive already put almost $2k into and still climbing lol. I really enjoy wrenching on it,so im always looking for things to replace

. Id like to thank you all for all the awesome knowledge on this site.

Steve

Great looking MINI. Hopefully the spending rate will decline now that you have it up to the level that it should be. How many miles have you put on it so far?

Welcome to the forum!

Remember to put on your front license plate. California Highway Patrol loves to give drivers no front plate tickets (even when you're parked)

Thank you! I bought it with 177k miles on it,i've put on about 2,000 so far. When i purchased it, i already knew some of the problems that were wrong with the Mini. One of them being the clutch was on its way out. But i didn't expect it to go out on me right after i purchased it, and drove done the street to get gas an hour and half away from home lol. It was a fun drive home :D .

Welcome! Enjoy the car!

*from CA myself: front plates arent a thing anymore.. IF you ever get hassled for it, just tell the CHP "sorry i thought I was driving my Tesla sir". There are no front plates EVER on a Tesla.. so as far as im concerned, CA can eat it!
